Going to broadly categorize this into 3 category, 1) Integrity/ethics of the company 2)Work culture 3)Growth opportunities 1) Integrity/ethics of the company Indiahikes keeps modifying the its polices very frequently (In about every 3-4 months) These policies are mostly the policies that directly affect the lowest members of the hierarchy, I.E the Trek Leaders The terms and conditions mentioned on your offer letter means squat to them and it will keep changing as per the management's convenience. These are the the changes I saw in my time. 1) Trek leaders leaves decreased. From about 23 leaves in a year, it got decreased to 16 leaves 2) Trek leader gear allowance was forfeited stating financial crunch.

To summarize, IH is absolutely unstable, especially when it comes to the welfare of the trek leaders.
